Composed by Igor Korneitchouk. 21st Century,Contemporary Classical. Score. 18 pages. Published by Drake Mabry Productions (S0.16258).Tintinnabulation is scored for piccolo, 2 flutes., 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets in Bb, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 French horns in F, 3 trumpets in C, 2 trombones, bass trombone, tuba, extensive pitched and unpitched percussion for 3 percussionists, timpani, piano/celeste, full strings.The title of Igor Korneitchouk's Tintinnabulation, meaning the frenzied ringing of bells, comes from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Bells." The San Diego-based composer and professor of music at Mesa College uses no singers for the text. Rather, instruments convey the vibrant colors of Poe's words. He evokes the different sorts of bells from the poem -- such as the silver bells of sleighs, bronze bells signaling an alarm, funereal iron bells -- frequently juxtaposing and interchanging them in a bi-partite fantasy. Tintinnabulation is a 2012 reworking of an earlier Korneitchouk score, From the Bells..., written in the 1980s for brass and percussion octet. When La Jolla Symphony conductor Steven Schick, a celebrated percussionist, requested an overture-like work to open the concert, the choice seemed apt. By the composer's own account, the revised work is almost a percussion concerto.
